Sealing the Building Envelope–Principles, Products & Practice

EMSEAL operates at the center of a communication disconnect that often exists between the design
architect responsible for selecting joint sealants and the engineers calculating joint movement. When this
conversation ignores the movement capability of the product that is expected to seal the joints, failures
often result. EMSEAL’s “Sealing Joints in the Building Envelope” seminar provides practical steps to
avoid this and other common mistakes that affect joint sealing.

Learning Objectives

1. Analyze how watertight, energy efficient, fire-rated expansion joints are the consequence of a process in which we: Design, Detail, Specify, Bid, Erect, Manufacture, & Install in 3-D.
2. Be familiar with product technologies and how to apply them.
3. Why it is critical to require certified performance reports in your specifications.
4. Know that your next building can be a watertight structure.
